You've prob been annoyed by the worst posters on C-SPAM sperging out about the deep state.

You have questions like:
- What is the deep state?
- Why does it matter?
- Why do people care?



Over the last week or so a 4th branch of the US government revealed that they exist and have vast power. That alone should be a WHOAH moment.

This was a conspiracy theory till a few days ago. Now everyone, including important people are talking about the deep state as through it exists. And is powerful. And their friend.

Things the Deep State likes:
  • Powerpoint Presentations
  • Boring old white guys talking
  • Coffee
  • Super complicated low energy never ending foreign wars
  • Gatorade (unconfirmed)

I also don't think they are bad, or even bad people or anything like that.

They are patriots. Mostly ex-military, people who've made working for the USG their life work.

They love america so much that they are trying to save herself from herself. And when they see America cutting herself in the bathroom they dull all the razors in the house. If that makes any sense.

a month ago people were scared that the fbi/cia wouldnt investigate the president and now they are scared that they are wtf

The way the deep state is going after Trump admin is unconstitutional.

The biggest flaw of the deep state is they are unconstitutional. Unless they have a different version of the US constitution... which wouldn't surprise me. An unwritten 0th article: "protect america from americans"

if the deep state is really so powerful they would have dropped the nuke on trump already

i think theres 3 factions of the deep state, one thats anti trump, one thats pro trump (or maybe anti clinton) and one that doesn't give a gently caress
